Sir,

Government House,

C.O. 569 36835 27 OCT 04

Hongkong, 26th September, 1904.

16406

Mr. May has, in accordance with the instructions contained in your Despatch No. 161 dated the 26th May last, placed before me the correspondence on the subject of a suggested Trust to carry out schemes for the resumption of Insanitary Areas and the Improvement of the City of Victoria.

I entirely concur with him that a considerable sum should be devoted each year to the resumption of Insanitary Property, and that this resumption should proceed on continuous lines.

I do not think it would be desirable that it should be laid down either that a sum of $350,000 plus half the proceeds of land sales, as proposed by the Committee that reported on the 24th September, 1903, or that a sum of not less than $400,000, as recommended in Mr. May's Despatch No. 150 dated the 9th April, 1904, should be devoted to resumptions. With regard to the first of these proposals, I am averse to the introduction into the Estimates of the principle, which, if introduced, would admit of various logical extensions, of allocating a special source of receipts to a special object.
